This hilarious exchange is reminding me way too much of an iconic Q&A between a US Army major and an Iraqi farmer near Samarra in 2004:
1st ID major: “Hey, seen any foreign fighters around here?”
Farmer: “Yes—you.”

If calling for military force against U.S. cities, which he deems akin to Samarra in the Iraq War, "indigenous territory" controlled by "enemies" isn't enough ground for a single Republican to oppose this murder-minded bastard...

In 2005, Hegseth was a young, conservative Princeton graduate and Minnesota Army National Guard lieutenant.
That year, he took over a platoon in Samarra, Iraq, as an augmentee in the 101st Airborne Division's 3rd Brigade. This unit was led by then-Colonel Michael Steele.
